SPEAKER KINGI ASSURES KENYANS OF BETTER TIMES AHEAD AS ECONOMIC REVIVAL MEASURES CONTINUE

Speaker of the Senate Rt Hon Amason Jeffah Kingi has called on Kenyans to continue supporting President William Samoei Ruto as he implements measures to revive the economy and address the many challenges his government inherited from the previous regime.
Speaker Kingi said President Ruto inherited a litany of problems but was progressively addressing them with the sole objective of making the lives of Kenyans better.
The low point at which the economy had sunk meant the country could not afford to borrow further but take radical measures, including painful ones to revive the economy, Rt Hon Kingi said.
Comparing the situation to a boil that must be squeezed and eradicated, no matter how painful, for a patient to get better, Speaker Kingi thanked Kenyans for their patience and assured them it was only a matter of time before things take a turn for the better.
The Speaker was addressing worshippers at an interdenominational prayer meeting hosted by Christian and Muslim clergy at Mama Ngina Grounds in Mombasa on Sunday morning and attended by President Ruto, First Lady Rachel Ruto, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, parliamentarians, MCAs and other governments officers.
The worship service came during President Ruto’s working tour of the Coast region that saw him traverse Lamu, Tana River, Kilifi, Mombasa and Kwale counties as he launched new development projects and assesses status of ongoing ones.
In his address to worshippers, President Ruto gave an update on his development agenda for the Coast region and country as a whole, and urged Kenyans to exercise patient.
He outlined key development priorities for Coast region, saying hie government remained on track in fulfilling all electoral pledges he made as he sought office last year.
The meeting was also addressed by Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sharrif Nassir, Cabinet Secretary for Mining and Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs, while the clergymen from the Christian and Muslim faiths delivered sermons.
